SANDAG Secures $98.7M: A Bold Investment in San Diego’s Future

In an exciting development, SANDAG, the San Diego Association of Governments, has successfully raised $98,700,000 to accelerate its mission of shaping the future of the San Diego region. This remarkable funding boost underscores the confidence that our community partners, local governments, and federal agencies have in SANDAG's robust approach to regional planning and project development. With this new influx of capital, SANDAG will enhance its efforts to design sustainable, data-driven solutions that address the region’s transportation challenges, environmental preservation needs, and essential community services. The funds will support key projects and initiatives, from long-term transportation planning under the TransNet program to infrastructure improvements that ensure the efficient movement of people and goods. Moreover, the investment is set to fuel innovative strategies that integrate public input with advanced data analytics, ensuring that future developments are not only smart and forward-thinking but also reflective of the community’s diverse needs. As the Metropolitan Planning Organization and Regional Transportation Planning Agency for the San Diego region, SANDAG’s role is critical in maintaining the delicate balance between growth and conservation while upholding the integrity of local governance. Governed by a Board of Directors composed of elected officials from city councils and county supervisors, SANDAG’s approach is both collaborative and transparent. This funding will enable us to extend our regional impact and further our strategic agenda, reinforcing partnerships with neighboring regions, transit districts, and other key stakeholders. As we continue to build long-lasting solutions and drive progress for our communities, we invite everyone to learn more about our vision and the transformative projects this investment will inspire at SANDAG.org.
